Yes there is.  We fixed the netbooting problems with DEQNA/DELQA cards a
while back.  The 1.4.1 release netboots on the MicroVAX II just fine.  The
Netbooting HOWTO is out of date so you'll likely have to scrounge through
the port-vax mailing list archives for particulars, or you can ask me
if and when you run into problems.

I haven't fully booted or installed a system using this method, but check
out John Wilson's PUTR program.  ftp://ftp.dbit.com/pub/putr/
It lets you write RX50 images using a 1.2Meg 5.25in floppy drive.
